Vanquisher title track

Vanquisher trim around explorable area names

This title is granted to a character for defeating all of the foes in each explorable area of a campaign while in Hard Mode. A character's progression can be tracked on the World Map: areas that have been vanquished once will have a gold design around the name, while unvanquished areas will be red.

Title1	Campaign	Explorable Areas Vanquished
Tyrian Vanquisher	Prophecies	54
Canthan Vanquisher	Factions	33
Elonian Vanquisher	Nightfall	34

¹ The titles listed above are all individual and independent title tracks, with only one level each. Each of them currently counts towards the "Kind Of A Big Deal" title track.

Foes vanquished counter

Area completely vanquished

A red counter in the upkeep area of the interface will display how many foes the party has vanquished in the current area. Upon successfully vanquishing an area, the counter will turn to gold, the "mission completed" fanfare will play, and the players will receive a reward of gold and experience. The gold received will be equal to three times the number of creatures defeated, and the experience will be equal to five times the number of creatures defeated.

• Killing tamable pets will add to the counter for the current area, increasing the gold and XP reward, but they are not required to complete an area.
• Foes killing each other will also count towards the kill total for the area - the party does not have to kill everything first-hand.
• Vanquishing of a zone can be repeated as many times as one wishes. It will remain marked in gold on the map, but the counter will be reset each time you enter the zone.

Number of Foes in Each Area

The actual number of foes in each area is somewhat variable, due to the randomness in the number of creatures that may spawn in a given group and the number of active quest affecting the area. The numbers below reflect the range of foes seen in actual gameplay experience by GuildWiki users.

Defeating the last enemy of an area has caused some players' games to freeze and close. However, the credit for completing that area IS logged in the Vanquisher title track.
